I'm Tanya Eberhardt, and this is assisted leg stretching. Assisted leg stretching or PNF is an excellent effective way to immediately increase your flexibility. Place a blanket at the edge of your mat to support your head and grab a belt for your foot. Come onto your back and extend both legs in front of you. Lift your left leg up towards the air and wrap the belt around the sole of the left foot. Inhale deeply and push your foot into the belt, keep your leg straight and resist moving your left leg with the belt. Exhale and walk your hands towards your foot moving the left leg in towards your face. Repeat, inhale deeply pushing the leg into the belt, resisting the leg with the belt and exhale, pulling the left leg closer to your face. Repeat that three to five times and continue on the other side.
